[QUOTE="2TrakR, post: 996882, member: 27322"] This has been out for a while now but wanted to make sure you were aware of it. Senate Bill 0847 <http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2005-2006/billintroduced/senate/htm/2005-SIB-0847.htm> Make your own decisions, I'm not here to sway you either way, just inform. It's my understanding AMA D-14 initiated and is in support of this legislation. The aim is to enable youth to race without first going through ORV Safety Training. The CCC's position is "no support"; safety training is a core value and thus skipping such training conflicts with this value. Senate Bill 847 was entered on 10/26/05 and seeks to change some of the language used in PA451 to define legal parameters for the operation of ORVs by minors. This is the section of law that says you can't ride a 3 wheeler if you are under 16, must have an adult supervising you, have a certificate, etc. etc. Only changing the law so a youth can ride at an organized "event" (ie race) when certain conditions are met. This may preclude them from having a certificate. Here's the text they are adding. (18) A requirement of this section that a child be under the direct visual supervision of an adult, possess an ORV safety certificate, or operate an ORV on private land owned by a parent or guardian does not apply if all of the following requirements are met: (a) The child is participating in an organized ORV riding or racing event held on land not owned by this state. (b) The child's parent or legal guardian has provided the event organizer with written permission for the child to participate in the event. (c) The event organizer has not less than $500,000.00 liability insurance coverage for the event. (d) A physician or physician's assistant licensed or otherwise authorized under part 170 or 175 of the public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.17001 to 333.17084 and 333.17501 to 333.17556, or a paramedic or emergency medical technician licensed under part 209 of the public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.20901 to 333.20979, is present at the site of the event or available on call. (e) The event is at all times under the supervision of adult staff of the event organizer and a staff member serves as a flagger to warn ORV riders if another ORV rider is injured or an ORV is inoperable in the ORV operating area. (f) Fencing or another means of crowd control is used to keep spectators out of the ORV operating area. (g) If the event is on a closed course, dust is controlled in the ORV operating area and the riding surface in the ORV operating area is otherwise properly prepared. (h) Any ATVs used by participants are equipped with a side step bar or comparable safety equipment and with a tether kill switch, and the tether is used by all participants. (i) Each participant in the event wears a crash helmet approved by the United States department of transportation, a protective long-sleeved shirt or jacket, long pants, boots, and protective gloves. (j) Any other applicable requirements of this part or rules promulgated under this part are met. [/QUOTE]
